Bottle. Light golden, hazy, small to average and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty - some wheat and sweetish aroma, light caramel and some floral fruitiness, light spiciness (coriander). Body is medium, malty - lightly wheaty and sweetish flavor, light caramel and some fruitiness, light spiciness and hoppyness. Finish is average, malty - lightly wheaty and lightly sweetish, light caramel and fruitiness, light spiciness and hoppyness, light alcohol. Your quite typical Belgian strong ale. Light bitterness in the finish and not too sweet though.

330 ml bottle. BB 27/08/2014. From bierzwerg.de.
Hazy brownish golden colour with a small white head.
Biscuit, malt, fruits and mild yeast in the aroma.
The flavour is surprisingly malty with bread, biscuit, fruits, mild hoppy bitterness and some yeastiness. Very mediocre brew.
Gusher Golden colour small white head, sweet citrus creamy smell, at first bitter sharp taste then a soft sweet aftertaste a watery texture, biscut like taste in it, medium carbonation it has parts in it not good filtered
Bottle 330ml @ home
Gusher... Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, sugar, alcohol and fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to fizzy
Looks more copper than really blonde; clear except for a few floaters that mar the looks of the beer; dense foam that doesn’t seem to stay long
The nose is pleasant but not all that interesting, mostly grains with some sugar underneath
The taste itself is quite strong, again those grains surfacing, a decent bit of alcoholic warmth -especially for an 8% beer- and sufficient hops bitterness to avoid becoming sweet. A full and pleasant taste.
Overall it’s a solid, full-bodied and strong tasting blonde with more punch than its 8% ABV would lead to expect. Too bad there’s these ever-present floaters...
Bottle (33 cl) from bierzwerg.de. Hazy golden, some floaters, medium white head. Peppery and spicy with some burnt rubber. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Semi dry, low to medium bitterness.
33 cl bottle.

Pours clear golden color with a medium head. Aroma of ripe fruits, toffee and yeast. Flavor of pale malts, yeast, mild spice notes and ripe fruits with toffee. Decent.
33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 22.05.2010
Aroma is somewhat fruity with grassy hops, some floral notes and herbs. Flavour has grassy hops, some apricot, caramel malt, fruity and yeasty notes. Solid Belgian blonde with extra hops.
Pours golden with a thin quickly receding white head. Notes of banana, bread dough, alcohol, bitter herbs, stale bread, sticky sweet fruits. Full bodied, alcoholic with soft carbonation;
[Bottle] Pours deep amber with a nice white head which leaves great lacing. Aroma is...wow, smells exactly like orange juice and Sprite mixed together immediately after pouring. After letting it sit, it becomes much more dessert-like with caramel and toffee. Really nice. Taste is not quite as good, but still enjoyable. Big yeast presence even before the yeast pour, with banana, notes of apple, alcohol, some doughiness and a vague fruitiness which is hard to peg (red grape?). Although the taste doesn’t make it stand out, I did enjoy it. Mouthfeel is great--very smooth and creamy, with an average length finish. Overall, this falls short of the Ultrabrune, but is still a very solid beer.
Note, after pouring the bottom of the bottle, this beer took a dramatic turn for the worse. Dusty and metallic scents appeared in the aroma, and the taste became muddled and unappealing. One of the more dramatic changes for the worse I have seen in a beer after the yeast pour.
Tasted at Zythos Bier Festival 29th April 2012 Citrus, sharp and sweet a bit witbier like
Bottle from Hop City, Atlanta. Cloudy gold, thick head, floral hops. Good but nothing outstanding.
barnyard, spruce, cereal, butterscotch, cooked vegetables, woody, vanilla, golden, hazy, white foam, heavy cloying sweetness, medium bitterness, heavily sour, full body, sticky, soft carbonation, long finish,
At the warm tasting, pours orange to yellow hazy with a small head, aroma of honey, caramel, malt and some spices, flavor is creamy, with malt, bread and carob, medium bodied
Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Gusher! Cloudy, hazy almost opaque yellow, big fizzy white head. Smell malts, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, slightly alcohol. Taste malts, lightly bitter, slight hints of fruits. Overall a bit flat taste. Average carbo, medium body.
Bottle, bought at the brewery October 2011. Pours golden cloudy, bread, cotton-candy sour aroma, tastes sour and a little spicy. Dry finish, soft carbonation, medium-bodied. Quite alright.
Pours a medium golden yellowish color. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some pepper. Flavors are sour, yeasty, and a touch of sweetness at the finish.
33cl bottle. Murky amber, sediments of yeast floating, with a frothy white head of good lacing and good duration. Aroma is citrus, hopped, spicy and yeasty. Flavour is fruity, sweet, light and fresh, with a final slightly bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high.
gold blond coloured sparkling body with yeast particels and a white head a spicy yeasty hoppy fruity aroma a spicy yeasty hoppy fruity taste with a spicy bitter finish
Hazy (yeast) blond coloured beer with medium white head and medium carbonation. Yeasty bit spicy aroma. Full creamy bit sparkling palate. Finish is bitter hoppy.
Murky gold, big rocky head. Smells nice enough - apple and pear, some other sweet notes. I like the smell more than the flavor - not fruity sweet, but more butterscotch and alcohol heat. Kinda typical, I guess. Difficult to finish a 750.
Unclear golden of color with a nice foamy white head. An aroma of sweets, dust, spice, herbs and weak candy. A flavor of herbs, spice, sweets and a dry/bitter finish.
Bottle at home. Pours very hazy blonde with loads of floating particles. Thick foamy white head. Aroma is rich of sweet fruits and malts. Flavor is tropical fruits, a slight bitterness and quite malty. Still decently balanced. Too bad the floaties put me on guard and I started looking for anything evil in there.
Bottle@Home. Like most Triples with lots of citrus and light bitterness. But too malty in my opinion and a little alcoholic.
Bottle from Beer Planet. Hazy citrus body with slight head. Lots of carbonation. Nose of fruits, mango and lots of citrus. Taste also quite fruity with nice caramel and malt notes. Tart in the finish. Quite enjoyable.
Slightly muddy yellow pour, white head. Fruit, banana, apples, sweet malt, and light floral hops.
Bottle. Hazy golden with small off-white head. Flavour is malt, fruit, sweet, spices and yeast.
Bottle from errrr. Sticky, wheaty, doesn’t quite hang together. Doesn’t taste tremendously strong, but there are pinpricks of astringency. This beer has been with me through 3 housemoves and 2 failed relationships - it deserves an extra point for that surely.
